"The boy explained the song" Song of Eternal Sorrow "and Hu Erneng sang" Pipa "."
Pipa Travel was written in the eleventh year of Yuanhe. At that time, Bai Juyi was dissatisfied with the old bureaucratic group because of his writing theory, and was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima for exceeding his authority. This is a seven-character narrative poem, which inherits the excellent tradition of narrative poems in Han Yuefu, is the representative work of seven-character ballads in Tang Dynasty, and is another peak of China's classical narrative poetry creation. This poem was widely circulated before the poet's death, and it was said that "the boy explained the Song of Eternal Sorrow and Hu Er could sing Pipa Xing". As for why this poem is so popular? Listen to me in detail.
Although we drank a lot, we were not happy, so we broke up.
Xunyang Jiangtou, autumn wind rustling, seeing guests off at night. It took the author only fourteen words to explain the people, places, events, time and environment at that time. "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely", and the autumn wind blows the grass and trees. How bleak is it, and how lively can the farewell scene in Fujian be? There were only two people, "We raised our glasses to drink-but, alas, there was no music". Ancient literati could not drink without wine, and could not entertain themselves without joy. Without music, there is no feeling of happiness. The environment is bleak, and the inner world of people is also bleak. "We drank all the wine, we felt unhappy, and we were breaking up." If you want to drown your sorrows in wine, you will only increase its sadness. A word "miserable" points out the infinite desolation when bidding farewell. At the beginning of the poem, the author pointed out this bleak atmosphere many times. The environment is bleak, and people's hearts are bleak. Even the moonlight at this time is pale and powerless on the vast river. Such a farewell scene, if I were a director, would be accompanied by crows, making the atmosphere even more bleak.
There are more silent words than vocal ones.
"We once heard a sudden sound, a guitar across the water." In this infinite desolation, when there was no orchestral sound, the sound of pipa suddenly came from the water. Literati and poets love pipa. Hearing such a wonderful voice, "the host forgot to go home, and the guests went his way" secretly asked who played such wonderful pipa music. "The voice was interrupted ... and then she reluctantly answered" and ".However, before she started coming towards us, we called for a thousand times and urged her for a thousand times, and she still hid half of her face behind her guitar from us." It perfectly showed the pianist's indecision and seemed to be hiding something. Her shy form is vivid and ingenious. Artists certainly hope to display their talents and superb skills in front of everyone and win their applause. But why doesn't the artist want to show it in front of everyone, and why does he have to hold the pipa to cover half his face? In three sentences, the pianist's complex inner feelings are vividly displayed. What are the secrets you can't tell? What are the unknown stories?
At the repeated invitation of the two, the pipa girl "plucked the strings on the spindle" and only played a few times. Even though the melody has not yet taken shape, the mood has been laid. The pipa girl's performance level is quite high. This skill should have been successful, but now? People can't help but sigh. The chords are deep, as if the performer deliberately hides and suppresses her inner feelings, which is why "every string has a meditation, and every note has a meditation, as if she is telling us about the hidden pain of her life." Every string makes a deep and melancholy sound, and every sound contains infinite sadness and tells endless worries. Although it is a letter hand, it is also in line with the rhythm, and the skill of playing is perfect, which is unparalleled.
The pipa girl is quite skilled, tapping the strings; The act of twisting and kneading strings; Wipe, conveniently dial the action; The action of picking the ball and returning the ball backhand. In one sentence, the author arranged several moves to play the pipa. Although it is just a list, we still feel the superb skills of the pipa girl. First, the air in the rainbow skirt, and then the six hours: Nishang is the music and dance of the western regions, and Liu Yao is the score of the emperor's life. Pipa girl can play not only Beijing songs, but also frontier songs, and she is proficient in all kinds of songs. If we can do this, we can know that the level of pipa girls is absolutely superb.
How to turn music into words? The voice is short and indescribable, but Bai Juyi has brought his literary talent to the extreme. "The big string hums like rain, and the small string whispers like a secret", playing the thickest string with a heavy voice; Play the thinnest string, and the sound is urgent. What music was the pipa girl playing at that time, but we knew the pouring rain and the whispering sound. This is how the author turns abstraction into concreteness. The change of rhythm during playing makes the pipa sound very beautiful. The sound is crisp, like a jade bead falling on a jade plate. Melody changes very quickly, first "slippery" and then "astringent", and the sound has a "stop" process. The poet used the phrase "into deep sorrow, silence is better than sound" to describe the artistic realm with lingering sound and endless meaning, which is amazing both in performance and writing. This kind of melancholy did not end, but broke out immediately after depression. At first, the voice sounded like a water bottle burst, and the iron horse was riding a knife and gun. The sentence was novel and appropriate. The metaphor is quite vivid, and the reader seems to be there. At the end of the tune, the four strings in the center of the pipa were scratched one by one, which sounded like tearing a piece of cloth with a loud voice. At the climax, the pipa girl ended the song and came to an abrupt end. Everyone is listening to pipa music, and no one is talking. At the end of the music, it was suddenly quiet, remembering the lost pipa sound in silence.
It seems that she is telling us the pain of her life.
Such wonderful music makes people fascinated and intoxicated. At the end of the song, the listener is expected to ask about the pianist's life experience, so he will have a thoughtful attitude and want to stop talking, echoing the aforementioned "hiding half of her face behind her guitar in front of us", showing the shy appearance of the pipa girl. He said that his home is next to the frog mausoleum in Beijing. The frog mausoleum is near the southeast suburb of Chang 'an, which was the gathering place of Chang 'an Ge Temple restaurant at that time. According to legend, Dong Zhongshu's tomb is here, and his students passed by here to dismount, so it was called Dismounting Mausoleum, and later it was mistakenly called Frog Mausoleum. This place is very prosperous. At the age of thirteen, he learned to play the pipa, ranking high among music and dance teaching institutions, and his music is considered to be the best in court music and dance. The teacher who teaches pipa was impressed by the geisha's makeup and was jealous. Wuling teenagers refer to the aristocratic children in Beijing. These rich second generations are all fighting for gifts. This shows how red this pipa girl is. In today's words, she is a superstar, a popular actress with her own flow. Red yarn is a kind of fine and light silk fabric, which is particularly expensive, but there are many people who don't know. Comb headdresses inlaid with gold, silver or jewels at both ends are also quite expensive. It's not a pity to fall to the ground and break it when dancing. Turning red wine into a skirt shows that life is quite rich and wonderful. However, year after year, the glory is easy to die, the appearance is easy to get old, and no one approaches those old and faded artists. From "how did the young aristocrats in Wuling spend a lot of money" to "cold horses in front of the door", only the pipa girl knows how big the gap is. This is also a true portrayal of the life of many song and dance artists in their later years. These artists want to be abandoned like bad toys. The pipa girl is old and can only pin the rest of her life on businessmen. But can't an old artist who has lost his beauty tie the heart of a businessman who values profit over points? Men leave home to do business, and women stay alone in their empty boudoir, which is their inevitable outcome. Thinking of past lives in the middle of the night, I couldn't help crying.
This Jiujiang official. My blue sleeves are wet.
After being demoted, the author was also indignant. Hearing this kind of music, he also heard the tragic life story of the pipa girl, and his emotions overflowed, resulting in a * * * song. "We are not happy-until the end of the day, we met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? " Reminds me of my own experience. Being banished to Xunyang, he is still in poor health. There are no bosom friends in remote places, and no music can be heard. Living environment is very bad. There are no beautiful plants around, only yellow reeds and bitter bamboos grow around the house. Every day, I can only hear "cuckoo's bleeding cry and ape's sobbing". Qiu Jiang moonlit night, no one to accompany him, only a person drinking. The poet misses his hometown because of the scenery. There is no music around? Yes! But "but they are rough and harsh, which makes me feel harsh" is unbearable. After listening to such good music, the author's ears seem to have recovered. The author asked the pipa girl not to refuse, but to play another song and write lyrics according to the tune of the music to create Pipa. The author repeatedly asked the pipa girl to return to her seat and play again. The voice was bleak, and everyone hid their faces and wept. Bai Juyi cried the most, not only the pipa girl, but also was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima and Jiupin official.
The whole poem takes the life experience of the pipa girl as the main line and the poet's feelings as the dark line, and creates a poem that will be told through the ages.
Let us feel the description of the voice in the poem with our heart, and feel the sad, sentimental and melancholy feelings.
